About the Item

Unique abstract expressionist oil painting of three dark shadowy figures by Dwight Eberly (American, 1925-2014). The figures stand in a warm, glowing light that is depicted in soft focus. Signed "Eberly '85" lower right. Framed. Image size: 38"H x 44"L. A California abstract expressionist artist and art educator. "I want my work to stimulate on an emotional level - not just a visual. I want the response to transcend the color and canvas or composition--something that has not been touched before but is waiting to be known, an affirmation and change."

In the fall of 2008, as the Davis Art Center began preparing for its 50th anniversary, a few curious board members began to research the history of a permanent collection dating back to the founding of the Davis Art Center in the 1960s. They quickly recognized that this collection, which had been hidden away for decades, was a veritable treasure trove of late 20th century Northern California art. It’s been 27 year since the permanent collection was last exhibited to the public. Lost and Found: Visions of the Davis Art Center brings these treasures to light. Between 1967 and 1992 the Davis Art Center assembled a collection of 148 artworks by 92 artists. Included in the collection are ceramics, paintings, drawings, lithographs, photographs, mixed media, woodblocks, and textiles. Many of the artists represented in the collection were on the cutting edge of their time and several have become legends of the art world.

    For Julia Kiryanova, painting is a dialogue – a dialogue which she beautifully facilitates, layering her work with various techniques.
